Chapter 148 - Kek

"Huh, congratulations for?"

"Congratulations on awakening your bloodline powers."

Nagisa "…"

'How the hell did he know about my family bloodline powers? And how did he determine I had awoken it?' thought Nagisa.

Ryan saw the dark thinking expression on her face and pointed out she was talking with the ghost of Tom earlier. Nagisa too realized it and turned towards Tom in astonishment.

"Then you are the one who triggered my bloodline powers!!" she exclaimed in happiness.

Seeing all this from the sidelines was about to reply something when Tom intervened and said, "Lil girl it was not me, but that boy standing over there."

"Huh, you mean Ryan?"

"Mhm…."

She turned towards Ryan and looked at him carefully. She was thinking about how and when in the world did, he awoke her power. Suddenly she remembered the resonance she was feeling. "That must be the time he did so," Murmured Nagisa and let that matter go for that time.

"So boy or I should say, master? What to do next?" asked the ghost of Tom. As ordered by his master he completed his lifelong mission after death and was a step away from ascending to the next life, but before he did, he wanted to see the power of the person who had inherited the power kept for several generations by him and his master's clan.

"Hehehe, you are embarrassing me. Call me Ryan or lil Ryan as you wish. For now we will head towards the ancient ghost room and kick his ass. We can save our classmates later."

"Okay," both of them agreed in unison and headed ascended towards the upper floor.

Since the mansion had four floors excluding the ground floor they were expecting to meet four waves of ghosts on each floor. But nothing that sort happened in the first two floors.

Even Ryan was confused about it. He was sure that he had sensed two ghost generals on each floor. But now they were gone!!

'What the fck is going on!!' cursed Ryan in his mind.

In the pitch-black darkness with the help of a single light stick, the group of four-step onto the third floor.

And this time no one was there.

Again Ryan cursed in mind. Just before entering, he had sensed a medium-sized army of ghosts there, but when he stepped in, no one was there!!

Ryan sighed out in confusion and rubbed his forehead. Either the ghosts were playing games on him or his divine sense was not working. These were the two possibilities he could think of at that time.

Seeing the area was clear Nagisa and Tom were marching forward to the uppermost and the fourth floor.

Tom noticed that Ryan was not moving from his place and was pondering over something. He stopped Nagisa and pointed his head towards Ryan.

Nagisa too saw Ryan standing at one place and pondering over something. Since they were running out of time without hesitating, she went near him and asked out the reason.

Ryan remained quiet for some time then looked towards the ceiling. He pointed his hand towards the ceiling and bang!!

Nagisa got startled by it and moved back with a sprint. Before she took a breath and found out what was happening…. Bang!! Bang!! Bang!!!

The sound came again.

Ryan was firing concentrated chakra bullets. They were making large holes in the ceiling.

"Let's take this shortcut," said Ryan and went towards the fourth floor through that hole.

Seeing Ryan taking the shortcut the other two followed him and went to the fourth floor.

The light in the uppermost fourth floor was dazzling to eyes. It took him some time before he could get used to the surrounding light.

Nagisa and Tom too got dazed and closed their eyes as a natural response.

Suddenly, Tom remembered he was already dead, and it won't harm him in any way, even if he kept on staring at that light for a long time. He opened his eyes and....

Sometimes later Ryan and Nagisa opened their eyes. Ryan checked the surroundings with his divine sense and once again he found no one there, except a single ghost in that room.

"Care to show your face?!! The so-called Mr. Ancient Ghost" mocked Ryan. This was one of the things that he wanted to do for a long time.

After living in the new era and watching its so-called moving pictures or movies Aryan had learned quite a number of dialogues that he wanted to try in real life. But hadn't got a chance to do so.

Now that the so-called Seven had given him the opportunity he wanted to try them all at once.

"Kek, kek, kek," came a laugh from the shadows. Nagisa and the small ghost became alert while Ryan was picking his nose.

"Kek, you sure have some gut to mock me like that kiddo!!" emerged a voice from the dark corner of the room.

Ryan laughed at his threatening and said he was just a small fry before him. Why shouldn't he address him like that?

The owner of the voice got pissed and shouted, "You lil simp!!"

"You small penguin!!"

"You dare!!"

"Yes, I dare."

"…."

"Kek, I like your gut."

"I like your kek."

Meanwhile Nagisa "…"

'What the hell is going on here?'

Ryan was talking with an unknown voice and the unknown voice too was replying back. When she was thinking the convo was getting heated and a fight was on its way, the convo cooled down at once!!

She moved near Ryan and asked, "Friend Ryan with whom are you talking? No one is there in the darkness."

Ryan facepalmed and rubbed his forehead over the dumb question of Nagisa. For a minute he forgot he was a small kid and talked in the same manner as an elder, "Lil kid Nagisa, use your damn bloodline power and try seeing again."

Nagisa got intimidated by this new accent of Ryan and did as he asked. But then again she opened her eyes and looked towards Ryan in confusion.
